The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is forming a panel to investigate the potential risks of air traffic controller fatigue following a series of near-miss incidents. Many controllers have been working round-the-clock schedules, leading to concerns about the safety of the air traffic control centers. The panel, led by a former safety board official, aims to address the issue of fatigue among air traffic controllers. Several lawmakers have expressed the need for more funding and proactive measures to improve aviation safety and prevent near-miss incidents caused by human error.
